Ironically, they couldn't save him from sinking into the shithole that is his present life now. A crappy job. Acquaintances that interact with him u...

Your dialogue can be reduced so long as the message is kept. I think the first line could just be "Please, please, please,"...

[WP] A gun is placed to the back of a man's head and he is instructed to say his last words.
A click sounded behind his ears. Before he could turn around, a loud, masculine voice told him “That’s a .357 Magnum on your C1 Vertebrae. You have half a minute to say you last words, and then you’re dead.” “Took you long enough.” Was all the man said before a bullet pierced his skulled and killed him instantly.

The gun is cool at the back of your head, and you think of your lover's hands, cold things digging into the back of your head as they demand *more, more, more.* "Do you have any last words, comrade?" the man with the gun says, and it is Ivan, and you feel very blank. You slump, your body going lax as you relax. The g...

"I want to be *clear*. You are now the main character in a shitty little kafkaesque story. A tremendously unfair thing is happening to you, seemingly at random, and your actions will have no effect on the ending. The ending is you die. That's the ending." Whoever this guy was, he was clearly enjoying himself. His voi...

"Do you know what this is?" I did, but I didn't say anything. "Aren't you going to say anything?" The barrel of the gun was warm, he'd fired it recently. "Look, man, this is your last chance. If you have any last words speak now or forever hold your peace." Good god, he's so cliche. For a second I contemplated say...

"46. 82. 93. 14. 37. Remember those numbers because after I'm dead they'll be coming for them" The gunman walks away after he pulls the trigger. Not knowing how his life changed in that moment.

He was finally defeated. Had it really come to this? The fight had been bloody and painful and now whatever may have been left of his dignity was stripped away by the gun aimed at the back of his head. All he could think about was his life's desire to catch a whale. "I'm not beyond all compassion, you know." The man b...

"Heeheheheheeoooahahaheehe!!" He cackled incessantly, skipping over to his next victim in the circle. He performed a graceful pirouette before placing the still hot barrel of the six-shooter to the back of the girl's head. He licked his lips excitedly, "Now then me wee lil princess, same thing as before. How afraid are...

The mugger took his keys, phone, and wallet, and pressed the gun harder against the back of his head. "Any last words?" Tears streamed down Jack's face. His entire life had just flashed before his eyes. The struggles, the pain, the joy, the beauty, and then the pain again. His mind then fast-forwarded to tonight, whe...

"The tartar sauce I enjoy the most comes from a little seaside shanty called Krab Central. Its tangy, sweet and I suppose it would be fitting for a last meal." Ok. Sure. That was a little inane but at this point Zach was running out of things to say. After so much repetition its hard to be poignant or tragic. Z...

He felt the cold metal of the barrel pushing against his scalp. "Say your last words," a familiar voice demanded. "Can I talk my way out of it?" he asked. "Not this time," came the cool response. Then it all went black.

[WP]"Where lies the line between excellence and perfection? Good, and good enough? Grand, and legendary?"
Two priests stood atop the world's tallest cliff, looking down upon the land. "What would you call good?" Asks the first. The second stares out at a nearby city in contemplation. "Good is the man who acts of selflessness, sacrifice, and giving. The man who defends his kingdom with his life. The man who plows the fiel...

"I know I'm not gonna like the answer-" "Nowhere!" Relio shouted, drinking the rest of his ale, "there is no good, it's all grey, you can be light grey, or you could be dark grey-" Thunder heart interrupted his father's rambling words, "and there's no black, only dark grey" his father stared at him with his silver wi...

[IP] Warriors of a new age.
The transport lurched to a halt and ST11671 slapped the release on her harness. She was moving almost before it snapped away. The thunderous sound of the hatch spiked almost to painful levels before the sound dampeners of her helmet cut in. Her boots sounded on the deck in time with the rest of her troop. Her serg...
